Herbal Tea Bar to mark Herbal Medicine Week

Medical herbalist Jayne Palmer of Roots To Health is putting on a special tea bar in Honiton on Saturday (20th June) to mark the start of Herbal Medicine Week, organised by the Exeter-based National Institute of Medical Herbalists.

Herbal Medicine Week is held in June each year to coincide with Midsummer’s Day, when a wide range of medicinal plants can be found.

Jayne is inviting people to drop in for a free day of tea tasting to find out about the benefits of herbal beverages and how they can be used to treat common ailments and other health issues. Roots to Health is also offering a 20% discount to all new clients this week and free drop-in sessions.

Jayne says: “Many people don’t realise that herbs have been used since the beginning of time as a remedy for ailments. As a medical herbalist, I can help treat a wide range of conditions - physical and emotional. People who’ve never tried herbal medicine before are often amazed by the power of plants and how well herbs work!”

“This is a great opportunity for people to try a variety of herbal teas, and find out more about the many uses of herbal medicine.”

The event is being held from 12 - 4pm at the Chiropractic Health Centre at 193 Honiton High Street. A selection of dried and fresh herbal preparations will be available to buy.
